[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 106894, member: 525"] Ever wonder if your DM is an incompetent boob? Well here are several hints taken from the latest DM I had the misfortune of working with that should help you decide. 1. Level every session or at least 3 out of every 5 sessions. This is up to and through 10th level. 2. 2nd level parties that kill chimeras that ambush them. 3. 15th level foes with no lackies so the barbarian can easily grapple him and make him an esay target for the mage to blast to death. BTW the party was 8th level average here and there were only 3 characters. 4. Foes on the other hand so powerful a 15th level NPC Wizard needs to come along to save the day. Whichw as not really needed since the Lich had no spells preped even though she had to know we were walking around her pocket dimension. 5. Paladins with no Code. 6. Villages (population under 1000) that have multiple (at least 3) NPC's of 15th level and higher. 7. Campaign started with the "your all in jail for crimes you didnt commit" routine. 8. Who the Gods are in the world isnt introduced until 5 or 6 sessions in. This is really funny since it finally happened when I asked and I was running a figher wizard. You would think that the cleric, paladin, or druid would want or need this information. 9. Players that fall asleep and the DM says nothing. Those are just some of the items that come to mind. I am sure I could think of others but not at the moment. Oh well, after a DM like this everything looks better. ;) [/QUOTE]
